Lin Yun, seated cross-legged on the plaza, quickly established a task in his mind.
[Task: Break through to Immortal Symbol Master Lesser Stage. Reward: Spirit +4, Comprehension +4.]
After establishing the task, Lin Yun began to charge with all his might.
"Boom boom!"
Vast spiritual energy rapidly surged into the Lesser World.
The area of the Lesser World also immediately began to expand, and even the wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning began to be born within it.
At this moment, his spiritual energy was skyrocketing at an astonishing speed.
The previous stagnation was, of course, non-existent at this moment. That extremely difficult obstacle was also broken through like a hot knife through butter under the vast, ocean-like spiritual energy.
Rumble! The entire Lesser World was undergoing a huge change at this moment.
As Lin Yun's spiritual energy surged, within his body, incomparably powerful Origin Power also began to roll like a flood.
Lin Yun, who was sitting there, his aura was rising steadily at this moment.
And this increase in aura lasted for a full day. Only then did the vast Origin Power and spiritual energy swirling around Lin Yun gradually show signs of weakening.
When the last wisp of Origin Power and spiritual energy drilled back into Lin Yun's body, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light shot out from his dark eyes.
"Creak!"
Lin Yun slowly stood up, and his body emitted crackling sounds. Along with these crisp sounds, there was also an extremely fierce fluctuation.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Yun's face was filled with intense excitement as he leaped up.
With a gentle point of his finger, a finger containing powerful Origin Power immediately appeared with a boom, reaching a size of a thousand feet.
"Is this the strength of Life Profound Realm Greater Completion? So strong!"
Following this exclamation, without any action from him, the surrounding area was suddenly swept by strong winds. Vast spiritual energy instantly surged out from his Niwan Palace, transforming into a spiritual energy storm beside him. The storm emitted astonishing fluctuations. Even a strong person in the Life Profound Realm would not dare to underestimate it.
"Immortal Symbol Master Lesser Stage!"
The levels of Immortal Symbol Master are divided into Lesser Stage and Greater Completion. However, these mere two levels are enough to rival the Life and Death Profound Realms. Generally speaking, spiritual energy reaching Immortal Symbol Master Lesser Stage can be comparable to a Life Profound Realm expert, and if one steps into Greater Completion, they can contend with a Death Profound Realm expert.
Lin Yun smiled slightly. Although this time he basically used up all his pills, his strength also had a huge improvement.
Just after feeling the energy in his body, Little Lei bounced and flew towards him.
Patting Little Lei's back, Lin Yun flipped over and mounted it.
With a slap of his palm, Little Lei carried him into the sky.
"I've been here for so long, and I haven't had a good look at Yuan Gate yet," Lin Yun said while scanning the scene below with his eyes.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
Three consecutive sounds, like ancient bells, attracted the attention of everyone on the three mountain ranges to one place.
"What is this?" Lin Yun looked at that place with some doubt.
Many Yuan Gate disciples also flew past him, discussing the sounds of the three impacts just now.
"There are only three days left until the annual competition begins. Are you ready?"
"How else can I prepare? This is my strength. As long as I can maintain my current position, that's enough."
"Every annual competition is a re-ranking. It's a bit difficult to maintain the current position."
"Alas, who says it isn't? In our Yuan Gate, it's survival of the fittest. Whoever is stronger has a higher status."
"Even the Three Little Kings are the same. The strongest is Little Yuan King, followed by Little Ling King, and finally Little Lei King."
"I don't think that's necessarily the case this time. Do you remember Lin Yun, who became Little Lei King as soon as he joined Yuan Gate? He hasn't appeared for so long. I estimate his current strength should be even stronger."
"That shouldn't be stronger than Little Yuan King and Little Ling King, right? Those two are much stronger than the previous Lei Qian. But now that you mention it, I'm actually looking forward to this annual competition."
"..."
After listening for a while, Lin Yun flew away from the few people.
Those few people looked at him suddenly turning around with a little doubt, their eyes looking at his back.
One of them raised his eyebrows slightly, "I seem to have seen this person somewhere!"
"Now that you say that, I also seem to have seen him somewhere..."
"This person seems to be..."
After wandering around, Lin Yun returned to the mountain peak where he resided.
Just as he returned to the main hall, he sensed two streams of light outside heading towards him.
His figure flickered slightly, arriving before the main hall.
Looking at the two streams of light, the people who came were two people Lin Yun had never seen before.
From their appearance, they should be two disciples.
Seeing Lin Yun looking at them, one of the two immediately said, "Senior Brother Lin Yun, there are only three days left until the Yuan Gate annual competition. Department Head Chen You asked us to come and inform you."
"And let us give you this." As they spoke, the two men took out something resembling a token.
Looking at the token-like object, Lin Yun's face showed a hint of confusion.
"This is the Annual Competition Token, used to arrange the competition stages," the disciple introduced.
Hearing their words, Lin Yun nodded slightly and said,
"Okay, I understand." With that, he waved his hand and accepted the token.
Seeing Lin Yun accept the token, the two quickly left the mountain peak where he was located.
Lin Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.
"The Yuan Gate's annual competition, how interesting! This Chen You actually sent people specifically to remind me. It seems he wants me to make a name for myself in the Yuan Gate. That suits me perfectly!"
Three days passed quickly.
The large bell situated on a very high mountain peak between the three large mountains also struck its final note.
*"Dong!"*
With the final strike of the large bell, the usually quiet mountain peaks were filled with astonishing noise. These sounds converged and spread far and wide, clearly audible even a hundred miles away.
Countless people headed towards that extremely high mountain peak.
The annual competition was the Yuan Gate's grandest competition held every year. The entire Yuan Gate, from the higher-ups to the disciples, attached great importance to it.
When Lin Yun arrived in this area, looking at the vast and mighty scene, he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised. Then, he directly descended towards the most central giant peak.
Due to the immense number of Yuan Gate disciples, all the nearby mountain peaks were used as competition venues. However, generally speaking, the peak that truly attracted attention was the one Lin Yun was heading towards.
That mountain peak was basically where the most outstanding disciples from the Eight Divisions competed, as well as where the Three Little Kings fought.
Therefore, the popularity here was far greater than on the other giant peaks.
